The sultan faced a dilemma. He dared not fall in love again, yet he hated to be alone. His solution? Take a new bride each night—and execute her the following dawn! Into the fray runs Shahrazad, a clever young storyteller who volunteers to be the sultan's next bride. She now faces the ultimate test of her talents. Can she spin a tale magical enough to save lives—including her own?

This short-story retelling of the classic was adapted for radio as ‘1001 Nights: The Radio Play’ by ICRT as part of its community service mission. The production renews Shahrazad’s legend for modern listeners and illuminates the dazzling music by Rimsky-Korsakov that it inspired.
